going to use her to build some sort of scandal they have been building since 2008 instead they are left with nothing but empty conspiracy theories. limbaugh claimed that they were in on a conspiracy because it is part of getting hilary elected in 2016. >> my god. i people to recall something called on impeachment proceeding. >> stephanie: yeah. i guess they were part of the conspiracy of her being really smart and prepared and a great secretary of state. >> yeah rand paul just said he would have fired her. >> stephanie: we needed a good punch line, and the if i were president was it. >> i'm glad you are accepting responsibility. i think you accept the

culpability for the worst tragedy since 9/11. had i been president at the time, and i found you did not read the cables from benghazi and ambassador stevens, i would have relieved you from your post. >> stephanie: wow. he is taking that as an admission of culpability. >> certainly it was a tragedy, benghazi was a tragedy but when you put her up there with 9/11 and sandy hook, and aurora and dozens of others that is just hyperbole, and that's what he is known for. i like rand but he just gets a little whacky sometimes. >> stephanie: yeah a little

whack-a doodle. john mccain said that chris stevens spoke to him directly about needing more security. did he do something? pass on the information? or keep it to himself? did he bring the information to the state department? that was an odd moment. right? excuse me you are the head of the armed services committee. >> of course. and she raised that point in a very productive way. so clearly this was not anything that was on any member's radar screen to appoint d which they actually took action in any way. >> stephanie: right. >> so the whole scenario is just an embarrassment, i think. and fortunately i think hilary embarrassed them even more yesterday. >> stephanie: yeah absolutely. i was hoping she would open with

i got your freakin' benghazi flu right here. but she is classier than i am. >> yeah. this to me was one of the more cowardly moves that republicans have made and the list is growing on a daily basis. if they really wanted to accomplish something -- first of all they would have said that the pay -- the pay embargo would have been in effect unless there was a budget agreement adopted by both houses which would have forced them to compromise, now the house can pass any budget it wants, regardless of how extreme it is which is what they are going to do so they get off of the hook and throw it in the senate's lap. it puts no pressure on the house republicans to be -- to

compromise to the slightest extent and all they did was kick the debt ceiling down the road three months. >> stephanie: yeah, and boehner called his own bluff he said never going to raise it without equal pay cut, and basically he went back on that, and as you said, all he did was kick it down the road for three months. what was the point for him? >> the point was to look like they had some kind of a win because they knew they were in trouble on the debt ceiling, and then put the pressure on somebody else, namely the senate. but they are going to put forth a budget pretty soon that is really going to be an important % contrast for the american people to see. they are going to try to balance the budget in ten years, which you cannot do without slashing

medicare and medicaid, and social security. so the american people will get, i think, a very good look at the way republicans want to balance the budget and do deficit reduction and the way democrats do. we actually went through this with paul ryan's budget which was so egregious the leader of his party had to back away from it in the campaign. >> stephanie: yeah, it was seen as sort of a slap at the senate but they are calling it the no budget, no pay idea. it has been regarded by a lot of people as a gimmick. here they go. it's a new way to play some sort of partisan games right? >> exactly. and it doesn't guarantee that there will be a compromised budget agreement between the house and senate. they can pass one, just as the house can pass one.

and that's why it made no sense. they tried to play gotcha with democratic members, because no matter how bad the legislation was, the no budget, no pay is a fairly pop idea. >> stephanie: i'm reading a story about it, i mean most adults would prefer a long-term solution. i know you are, but what am i? >> yeah. keith elson said to the caucus yesterday, we swear an oath to protect the constitution and to do our job. the idea that we have to basically blackmail ourselves into doing our job is so insulting. >> stephanie: yeah.

boehner said we're not going to raise taxes on the american people, blah, blah blah. here we go again. i saw an interesting thing in the "new york times" yesterday. this is not enough revenue to -- you know -- the president what we got in the last fiscal cliff, right? >> yeah, $700 billion over ten years. >> stephanie: but the point is and we can say it over and over people do not want the safety nets cut. this -- this piece said citizens of other advanced nations appear to agree it is worth the price. americans have been more hostile toward taxation than other countries. there's pew poll almost two to one it was more important to avoid cuts in social security payments, and this for everybody. 74% of american oppose shorter

days or more crowded classrooms. clearly americans value government services. we may welcome an opportunity to save them. what do you think about all of that? >> i think it's very accurate. the american people basically want to do everything -- they want to eat everything drink everything they want to drink, smoke everything they want to smoke, and then get perfect health care and not pay for it. that's human nature but what it indicates very clearly is the american people truly value these social safety net programs. they think they are an important government priority and they don't want them changed in any dramatic way and that's what the president said that was so important, he talked about what people's expectations of the federal government are and that's a discussion we need to have. not how much can we cut and

spend, it's what do we want the government to do and then figure out how to get it done. i hope we do that as we go through these next three crisises. >> stephanie: that's how we screwed up california, do everyone want free unicorns? yes, do you want to pay more on your water bill? no. congressman thank you so much. >> i'm sorry i missed you in dc. >> stephanie: i'll see you for hilaries inauguration. there we goes john yarmuth. we'll be right back on the "stephanie miller show." >> announcer: there's something funny going on in talk radio. it's the "stephanie miller show." instead of corn, you've got dope.
